-Fai walks in wearing a visual declaration that they’re in an established relationship and PUNCHES KUROGANE IN THE FACE
-So that’s basically leading with the strongest flirtation possible y/y?
-and like, this is the face of a man who is far more in love than even he realised:
-And it adds SO MUCH from Fai’s angle, because he’s THOUGHT about this
-He’s had ??? days to recover from this and think it through and REALLY approach this conversation from the way he wants to
-And what he does is THAT
-WHICH IS RARE ENOUGH IN ITSELF, BUT NOW? AFTER ALL THAT?
-Fai has had the time to contemplate everything that has happened, to reflect on his past being broadcast to everyone while also having it used against him as a weapon. He’s felt his grief and lost both his brother and his father figure and had the chance to feel the fact that his family still loves him so fiercely that they fought for him right till the end and
-and Kurogane did the arm thing.
-So Fai SMILES, GENUINELY, and uses Kurogane’s nickname again - which we haven’t heard since Acid Tokyo, when Kurogane forced him not to die
-So Fai is deliberately joining that circle back together, realising that he is no longer mad at being forced to be alive or having to live through Evil Wolverine’s plan or any of the reasons of before because it’s all over now. All of it. Fai’s entire past is over and wrapped up and he can be ANYTHING he wants, now.
And this is what he picks. He is Fai, Kurogane’s lover, Fai who can smile without lying about it, Fai who can use playful nicknames, and Fai who can meet Kurogane on an equal footing and treat him like they’re an even match.
This is what Fai has decided that his life is going to be, and Kurogane loves him fiercely for it.
